OPEC reported on Tuesday that crude oil production decreased by 797,000 barrels per day (bpd) in January to average 30.81 million bpd.

Preliminary data also indicated that global oil supply decreased in January by 1.03 million barrels a day, month-on-month, to average 99.32 million barrels a day, said the report.

The data came after a meeting in December that OPEC and some other major oil producers, including Russia, pledged to cut production by 1.2 million bpd, effective from January 2019.
